Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Cianfarani, thank you very much for being with us, for your expert testimony today, and also for your past service to our nation.
I really wanted to zoom in a little more on the macro-economic picture that you're painting in very compelling terms. I think it's very important for us as parliamentarians, and also for the Canadian public at large, to understand that we need to shift away from the notion of defence spending to the idea of defence investment, and that there are longer-term economic benefits in terms of our overall capacity to contribute on a number of different fronts at home and abroad. I wanted to explore both the domestic economic side and also the potential for export.
Before I do that—you didn't refer to it in your comments, but it's in your written submission—you note a multiplier, if you will, for the national shipbuilding strategy, of $1.3 million. Can you share with the committee in document form, at a future date, the source of that information? I think we would be very interested. We've asked the question on the multipliers a number of times of other witnesses, and you're the first one who has actually brought us some data. How is that particular multiplier composed? Also, how does it vary across other sectors within the defence industry?
